If i correctly understand what you need to do the simple answer is yes.Just go to Raybuntu's github page, download rb-leia24 img, burn it on the eMMC and boot from it. Once the initial scripts are done it is just a matter of copying /storage/.kodi and /storage/.config from the old to the new drive (preferably with kodi off; systemctl stop kodi). After the reboot you should be ok. This is a quick and dirty method but should work for the majority of cases.

Is there a new build available for c2? I see lot of development /improvement going on on other devises. But for c2 it is like stagnant from the past many days.... Is there a new build coming out soon with latest patches and updated Kernel?

1) Sound of video playback does not work properly, if audio passthrough is enabled.I have an external USB sound card attached to get spdif optical output which is connected via a toslink cable to my audio receiver. Playback of a video with audio passthrough disabled is fine. Although i suspect that the multichannel surround sound gets 'lost' this way, because my amplifier shows '5.1 - Stereo' ins the display as input source. The problem now occurred if I change the audio to passthrough enabled. Now there is most of the time no audio at all during video playback, the amplifier shows 'no signal'. Sometimes the audio stream seems to recover for a short time, the amplifier shows ' D T S 5.1' or ' DolbyD 5.1' (AC3 5.1 stream). If the sound recovers the are cracking and static sounds before the actual audio output starts for a few seconds before changing back to no sound at all again. This repeats all the time, every few seconds.I think this is not a problem with the cabling, because with audio passthrough disabled the audio playback is fine.

The kodi system audio settings also have set both 'passthrough output device' and 'audio output device' to 'ALSA: USB PNP SOUND device, S/PDIF'

kodi_audio.log

2) The second problem I have is that i watch TV withe the PVR plugin for VU+/Enigma, which i installed via the addons repository of Kodi. After configuring the credentials to access the web interface of my Enigma box all the bouquets are synced successfully, but there is no streaming/video playback."One or more items failed to play Check the log for more information about this message"

kodi_pvr.log

I attached a kodi crash log as well as the kodi_audio.log and kodi_pvr.log file.

Thanks for this link. But there is no tar file to update from current version. is there a way to convert img to tar or should I wait for Raybuntu to upload tar image? Can I update to this build from rb24 leia build without losing my addons and settings? Is it better than rb24 build? Changelog available? Thanks in advance

I don't know if its the upgrade you want, since its the latest 8.x release when Raybuntu's builds were pre releases of the 9.x release of LibreELEC.

If you read a little further back in the comments, Raybuntu stopped doing his builds, so until the LibreELEC project releases their official alpha builds, there is no new builds.Which should not be to much longer a wait.

I do my own builds, and would have to say you are not missing any drastic improvements or new features by waiting, you wouldn't be able to tell a build from the last week from Raybuntu's last build.

Thanks for all the great work. I wanted to check if there is an upgrade for rb-leia24 on Odroid-C2 and almost had a panic-attack when I saw your Github repo being archived.

What should rb-leia24 users like myself do? Wait for CoreElec release and then upgrade or switch to LibreElec. TBH, right now there is no reason to do anything on my part as everything works fine. Can you just confirm that this is the correct project: https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases

BTW: It would be helpful, to perhaps update your archived Github project with some note/info regarding the direction forward.

Could you post the last build that has the gpioplug module and options working correctly, please? My install has suddenly stopped running add ons of any description including the LIBREELEC settings and I'd like to start over. I'm not sure if 8.2.3.1 had it but I know rb-krypton18 did. It isn't included in rb-leia24 and I'm having extreme difficulty compiling them from the sources.

Can you please give us some words on what should we expect from this release? Like, main differences from your previous Leia builds, something known to be not working?Otherwise it will be difficult to give any good feedback...

Overall Playback seems better I'd say. I have been testing it for 3 Days. Kodi is still Alpha so expect bugs. CEC wakeup works again for me. We have a few AML devs now and especially the work from afl1 for LiveTV/DVB is great.

Hi Raybuntu good to be back!

I just upgrade with alpha1 on my odroid C2 and did some test with live tv and if i zap to anotjer channel it’s zapping into a black screen just like lei24.

Are you aware of this issue?Are there any improvements for c2 with live tv?

Hi, I pushed CoreELEC-Odroid_C2.arm-8.90.0.tar up to my C2 running 8.2.3.1-C2 (S905.arm) and rebooted and during reboot(upgrade) it said it wasnt compatible with my hardware? I thought I saw that it is an upgrade to LE?

Do I need to be on a different version? Or should I install a new image?

You seem to use Kszaq build. You have to create the nocompat file to upgrade. Please make a backup just in case:

Thank you once again for the great work! I've just tried the 8.90.1 up date and it works flawlessly after upgrading from Leia20. Though I notice a significant slower fast-forward, meaning, with leia20 fast-forwarding 30 seconds was fast, with CoreElec it takes about 2 seconds to resume playback. Nothing critical! It is the only thing that I notice that is different.

Another great news, for me at least, is that the addons that I've build for Leia20 still work on CoreELEC without the need to recompile them.

Now, I would like to ask for your help, since leia20 that I'm not able to build the addon Hyperion.ng, I know that you don't support it anymore but I would appreciate a few hints on how to fix the build if you have any idea.The issue is that I'm not able to statically link the avahi libs:

I noted the issue with CEC not waking up which I thought was an issue unique to me. I used to be able to get it to work by sending ActivateWindow (Home), but that was just something I discovered through trial and error and it ceased working for me when I went to your final pre CoreELECE Leia build so I'll upgrade now as that is the only bug that was causing me issues for regular usage.

However...

What is the preferred method / signal / command to perform a CEC wakeup?

The TV can send various commands. Uboot supports a few. I patched in LG support a year ago with some help of a user from here.For me CEC wakeup works again. But we are talking off ---> on. Suspend or hibernate is not working for me.

Hi, i tried today your CoreElec Image (8.90.0) and it´s working nearly fine for me. I use a Harmony remote within Kodi. Now a have updated to ( 8.90.1) and the remote dosn´t run anymore. When i get back to ( 8.90.0 ) it run again. Is there any hint , what i Can do, because i want to use Sky Ticket, which stops after 10 min in ( 8.90.0), but is ok in ( 8.90.1)

I figured you are german, check out kodinerds forum it's a german speaking forum and I offer German Support over there. The Kodi version used in 8.90.1 has a bug. Lirc is not working with Amlogic boxes. This was fixed yesterday and 8.90.2 will have a working remote again.

I changed to CoreElec from leia version and now I´m experiencing troubles with CrazyCat drivers and TVheadend server.

I have an USB DVB-T2 styck (Mygica T230C) with Leia builds it was recognized as a DVB-T and DVB-T2 device and worked like charm, not with CoreElec it is recognized just as DVB-T device and no channel is detected.

thanks for your help earlier. I ended up flashing a new 8.90.0 img as the upgrade from kszaq failed after the trying with nocompat. It would boot and just hang. CoreElec works great!

I wanted to mention my latest issues on Odroid-C2 - I was running 8.90.0 and updated to .2 and it would no longer play any of my video files. I then reverted to .1 and then video was fine but it was turning off the C2 when I shutdown the system via remote control (harmony 650). I do have CEC disabled. Moving from Kszaq's LE to your CoreElec had fixed that for me!

Looking at the logs I see a couple warnings and an error from when the video play failed:

I am having issues with CECLately I switched my FHD Samsung TV for a 4K UHD one (TCL Xess X2)The Samsung was working with any *ELEC flawlessly and CEC was OK out of the box without any alterations.The new TCL TV is acting weird. First it sends out only the Play,Pause,Stop key presses. I thought this is a poor implementation of the CEC protocol.However, recently I found out there is this feature Guide Menu under CEC (T-Link based on TCL's marketing). Once this feature is enabled I see a visual guide on the screen and all the key presses are passed to CoreELEC (latest version).The same issue has been described here ( https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?ti ... pid1768882 )Could someone guide me please how should I gather troubleshooting logs in order to get this one fixed eventually?Quite frankly I am rather OK with the shell but never had the chance to learn how to properly use the ceclient binary.

Well, I'm still having problems with waking up my CEC after periods of inactivity. Usually I come home from work, fire up the TV/Kodi to watch something and I can't get CEC to respond even if I send some of the commands that seemed to work back in with the Raybuntu LE Krypton versions. It still responds to IR commands so I switch my Harmony remote to sending IR commands, reboot CoreElec and CEC works again just fine through the evening. I turn everything off and the next day it's the same thing again.

On an unrelated note, I've noticed I'm getting occasional audio sync issues. Rebooting seems to resolve it. If I have to adjust the audio sync I used have to go to -0.100 to -0.125ms to get it in sync. It the problem seems intermittent though. Anyone experience any audio sync issues?

Both of these are Kodi issues, I get the same thing on a Pi 3.

Not so much the audio (lately) but I have the exact same issue with CEC.

Raybuntu wrote:I have no issues with either my Samsung TV or my LG OLED. C2 turns on when TV is turned on or if I set the source to the C2.

I have the issue when I press a button on the remote to my Roku which switches the inputs to it, when I switch back I have to go into the TV CEC settings and press connect which reconnects to the Pi 3. I mean technically it's a libcec issue but since it is running LibreELEC it becomes a LE/Kodi issue.

Also when I leave the device idle for too long and the dim screensaver kicks in, often CEC fails to work here as well.
